My answer for SQL_Quiz of Stanford Database course
These quizs are very interesting and helpful. It's for query and data manipulation. Two small databases used to demonstrate basic query syntax, various subquery syntax and some DML.
/*---------- SQL Movie-Rating Query Exercises (core set) ----------*/
-- Q1 Find the titles of all movies directed by Steven Spielberg.
select title
from Movie
where director = 'Steven Spielberg';
-- Q2 Find all years that have a movie that received a rating of 4 or 5, and sort them in increasing order.
SELECT distinct year
from Movie inner join Rating using(mid)
where stars between 4 and 5
order by year asc;
-- Q3 Find the titles of all movies that have no ratings.
select title
from Movie
where Movie.mID not in (select mid from Rating);
-- Q4 Some reviewers didn't provide a date with their rating. Find the names of all reviewers who have ratings with a NULL value for the date.
select distinct Reviewer.name
from Rating join Reviewer using(rID)
Where Rating.ratingDate is null;
-- Q5 Write a query to return the ratings data in a more readable format: reviewer name, movie title, stars, and ratingDate. Also, sort the data, first by reviewer name, then by movie title, and lastly by number of stars.
select name, title, stars, ratingDate
from Rating natural join Reviewer natural join Movie
order by name, title, stars;
-- Q6 For all cases where the same reviewer rated the same movie twice and gave it a higher rating the second time, return the reviewer's name and the title of the movie.
select DISTINCT name, title
from Rating R1 natural join Movie natural join Reviewer
where R1.mID in( select mID as counter from Rating R2 where R2.rID = R1.rID group by R2.mID having count(*) = 2)
and (select stars from Rating R3 where R3.rID = R1.rID and R1.mID = R3.mID order by R3.ratingDate LIMIT 1)
< (select stars from Rating R3 where R3.rID = R1.rID and R1.mID = R3.mID order by R3.ratingDate DESC LIMIT 1);
-- Q7 For each movie that has at least one rating, find the highest number of stars that movie received. Return the movie title and number of stars. Sort by movie title.
select title,max(stars)
from Movie natural join Rating
group by mID
order by title;
-- Q8 For each movie, return the title and the 'rating spread', that is, the difference between highest and lowest ratings given to that movie. Sort by rating spread from highest to lowest, then by movie title.
select title,max(stars)-min(stars) as spread
from Movie natural join Rating
group by mID
order by spread DESC, title;
-- Q9 Find the difference between the average rating of movies released before 1980 and the average rating of movies released after 1980. (Make sure to calculate the average rating for each movie, then the average of those averages for movies before 1980 and movies after. Don't just calculate the overall average rating before and after 1980.)
select downav-upav
from (select avg(av) as upav
from (select avg(stars) as av
from Movie natural join Rating
where year > 1980
group by mID) as u ) as up,
(select avg(av) as downav
from (select avg(stars) as av
from Movie natural join Rating
where year < 1980
group by mID) as d
) as down

-- Q1 Add the reviewer Roger Ebert to your database, with an rID of 209.
insert into Reviewer
values(209, 'Roger Ebert');
-- Q2 Insert 5-star ratings by James Cameron for all movies in the database. Leave the review date as NULL.
nsert into Rating
select (select rID from Reviewer where name = 'James Cameron') as rID, mID, 5, null
from Movie;
-- Q3 For all movies that have an average rating of 4 stars or higher, add 25 to the release year. (Update the existing tuples; don't insert new tuples.)
update Movie
set year = year + 25
where (select avg(stars) from Rating where Rating.mID = Movie.mID group by Rating.mID) >= 4;
-- Q4 Remove all ratings where the movie's year is before 1970 or after 2000, and the rating is fewer than 4 stars.
delete from Rating
where ( (select year from Movie where Movie.mID = Rating.mID) not between 1970 and 2000) and stars < 4;
